Macau (Feb. 28)

Let's go to Macau! Toby and Daniel on their one hour ride to the 70 kilometer southwest of Hong Kong located Macau is. Macau consists of a peninsula, and the islands of Taipa and Coloane which we also visited by bus.
This is the Old Town of Macao.

Local specialty of Macau.

The Ruins of Saint Paul's. The cathedral was destroyed by a fire during a typhoon in 1835.
St. Dominic's Church situated in the Largo de São Domingos.
Mc's at the Largo do Senado

Dried fish as a snack in between.

The Macau Tower measures 338m in height At 233 meters, the Macau Tower's tethered "skyjump" from the tower's outer rim is the highest in the world. I saw a guy jumping off the rim and five seconds later he was already on the ground. That must be the craziest thing in the world. You got the gutts?
This area and the northern part of Taipa are reserved for the big casinos that rise out of the ground. Some of the casinos that already exist in Las Vegas such as The Venetian, Four Seasons , MGM Grand, Grand Hyatt or Mandarin Oriental are also found in Macau. Moreover, the are building a City of Dreams on Taipa which will be completed soon. Chinese pokerfaces can come over and gamble over the weekend since it is prohibited in China.

Bridges connecting Macau with the islands.

233m above NN.
This is the world's highest bungy jump called the Skyjump. 65 Euros and you can experoence the extreme adrenaline kick.

Casino Lisboa is one of the most famous casinos in Macau.

Bad luck at the Wynn Casino. I stopped with HK $ 5.60 and bet HK $ 40. Toby bet with HK $ 10 and came out with HK $ 12. For all of you you do not know the currency rate, one Yuan more or less equals one HK Dollar. And 10 HK Dollar are roughly equal to one Euro. So no big tears in the end....
This is also the end of my trip presentation. Five good weeks ended here.

Thank you for tuning in!
